CS Energy
CS Energy's Michael Johnstone will be speaking at the Building Energy Grid Resilience event in Melbourne on 20-21 November, presenting on the operation of our Greenbank Battery. The event will explore topics around Australia's energy future, including: 👉 Grid modernisation strategies 👉 Energy storage solutions 👉 Transmission infrastructure development 👉 Asset management best practices. The Greenbank Battery is CS Energy's second large-scale battery and came online earlier this year. It is comprised of 108 Tesla Megapack 2XL units, each paired with its own inverter, wiring, and heat management system; with a capacity of 200 MW/400MWh, it stores enough energy to power up to 66,000 homes for up to two hours in the peak demand period. Mick's presentation will be at 2.40pm on Day 1 of the event (Thursday 20 November). Informa Connect Australia

IAG
We’re excited to share IAG is now a member of the Queensland Renewable Energy Council (QREC). QREC is a not-for-profit industry body representing solar, wind, pumped hydro, electricity transmission, battery storage and hydrogen proponents, operators and their suppliers. They work with industry, communities, and all levels of government to deliver a thriving new energy sector for Queensland. We recognise successful renewable energy development isn’t just about generation capacity - it’s about cohesive strategy, culture and leadership. It’s also about creating partnerships with rural and regional communities to deliver enduring local benefits with an approach that’s build on trust, collaboration and understanding. As a QREC member we’re looking forward to contributing our expertise to help influence energy development across Queensland, working with industry leaders to strengthen how we support proponents working with First Nations peoples and regional communities and collaborating to ensure Queensland’s energy development creates meaningful legacy across the state. Here’s to working together with QREC for a stronger, cleaner and more inclusive Queensland.

EnergyAustralia
Powering up Australia’s energy future. We welcome today's announcement by the Commonwealth Government to support the Mt Piper Battery Energy Storage (BESS) project through the Capacity Investment Scheme. The Mt Piper BESS, planned near Lithgow NSW, will have the capacity to power up to 320,000 homes and small businesses for four hours at times of peak demand once operational. Large-scale batteries like Mt Piper BESS are becoming essential as more renewable energy comes online and traditional generation retires. We’re looking forward to seeing this project progress alongside others across Australia, all playing a role in shaping a more flexible energy future.

Rest
Collgar Renewables is unlocking new value for Rest members and continues to show the power of long-term active ownership. ⚡ Collgar Renewables, which is wholly owned by Rest, has this year announced 2 agreements for the Collgar Wind Farm in Western Australia. These include a long-term Power Purchase Agreement with Newmont Corporation to provide 100% of the farm’s electricity and green credits to the Boddington mine as well as finalising a financing package. Simon Esposito, Rest’s Head of Private Markets and Deputy CIO, says: “Collgar has been a consistently strong contributor to our portfolio, generating real value and enhancing our members’ financial interests.” Rest has overseen and supported the asset’s growth and transformation from a wind farm project into a renewables company. “These agreements allow our members to continue to enjoy the financial benefits of WA’s largest wind farm by capacity, as well as its contribution to the decarbonisation of the Australian economy.” says Simon. Rest’s active ownership across assets like Collgar helps us support more sustainable outcomes as we continue to focus on growing our 2 million+ members super savings - many of whom will retire into a post-2050 world. 🔗 Read more👉 https://lnkd.in/g_Az_ZXb #Superannuation #ImpactInvestment #ActiveOwnership #RenewableEnergy
